   NOTE: FSEditor.js v1.104   
   I'm attempting to create a new server and update the BBS from v3.18 to v3.20.   
      
   I tar up the /sbbs folder on the old server and copy that to the new server in   
   the same folder /sbbs   
      
   I'm having trouble after i do the git pull, then the make using setcap and   
   symlinks with release=1.   
      
   I then do the /sbbs/exec/jsexec update and it doesn't seem to work. if i run   
   the upgrade_to_v320 it says it migrates the users to user.tab and all that but   
   i can't verify things are right because #1 when i run scfg it thinks this is a   
   new installation when it should be an upgrade and i can't seem to get passed   
   that.   
      
   I'm just fully confused and tried so many things.. I'm willing to start over   
   with the update and do things in a certain order but i need some guidance. I'm   
   following the wiki for upgrading, but it just seems to be issues one after the   
   other. At this point, i'd almost rather setup a new bbs and make sure it works   
   then copy over the data somehow and the config, but im afraid i'd be right   
   back in the same boat.   
      
   Any guidance to what I might be doing wrong?   
      
   Here's what i have done more specifically (TL:DR)   
      
   cd /sbbs/repo   
   git -C /sbbs/repo pull   
      
   then   
      
   export SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl   
   export SBBSEXEC=/sbbs/exec   
   echo $SBBSCTRL   
   echo $SBBSEXEC   
      
   I do the echo's to verify it's there.   
      
   then   
      
   cd /sbbs/repo/src/sbbs3; make RELEASE=1 setcap symlinks   
      
   after it's done, i can verify that my exec files are using the symlinks and   
   are pointed to the right spots in the repo folders.   
      
   Then i try and run:   
      
   cd /sbbs/exec   
   ./jsexec update   
      
   It appears to run and tells me it's updating the birthdate for some of the   
   users and also it says this:   
      
   !WARNING loading configuration files: 0 nodes configured in /sbbs/ctrl/main.ini   
      
   and of course i can see /sbbs/ctrl/main.ini and i can see the items inside of   
   it, like bbs name and such, i can see the "nodes" in there too, so not sure   
   why it shows 0 nodes configured.   
      
   This is where i try and run /sbbs/exec/scfg and it says a new installation is   
   detected and i abort out of there because i dont want it to override any of my   
   data.   
      
   Hopefully i've explained well enough where I am at, and I'm stuck not sure   
   what to do next.   
      
   Thanks for any help and if i missed something, please let me know.
